Here's a Venezuelan artist I have been meaning to post for a while now. What drew me to Algodón Egipcio was his ability to create a tranquil environment with his soothing voice and flowing acoustic pop tones. The combination of these mixed with his Venezuelan influences makes this artist quite special and one that stands out from the masses. Algodón Egipcio normally plays in a band called Jóvenes y Sexys but recently completed his first solo album La Lucha Constante—originally planned to be released upon completion but was picked up byLefse. Many are anticipating the release of this album, and it should be out soon.
